England's opening match of the 2018 World Cup in Group G will be against Tunisia.

The ideal UK kick-off time means that there is set to be a huge TV audience for the opening game of Gareth Southgate's World Cup campaign.

And in a tournament that has already seen Germany lose and Brazil draw, Russia 2018 is already proving to be a World Cup of upsets.

That's both a blessing and a curse for Harry Kane and England. Little-fancied before the tournament, they could yet upset the odds with big hitters misfiring.

Then again, a victory is expected in this Monday's match against Tunisia, making England the ones vulnerable to an early upset.
